Team Unique wins the PUBG Mobile Star Challenge in Riyadh

Russian esports team Team Unique came out with the ultimate chicken dinner at the 2019 PUBG Mobile Star Challenge in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Although TU had a rocky day 1 with a total of only six points, day 2 gave them a significant boost in ranking, moving up to the third place with 50 points. Even without any first-place wins in the group stages, the team focused on placement and kill points to secure a spot in the finals.

TU would eventually dominate in day 3, winning the PMSC World Cup with a sum of 111 points. TU started to gain momentum with their third-place win in game two. Game three was a massive win for Team Unique, getting a first-place win with 16 kills.

Despite RRQ’s game four win that stole the lead by five points, TU had a miraculous last-game win, ending in a 2v2 clash with Yalla eSports. The Russian team ended up to be the only team with two wins on the final day.
